General information:

Category	Scientific-professional
Scientific or art field	Inženjerstvo informacionih sistema Information-Communication Systems Computer Engineering and Computer Communication
ECTS	10

The course is technology oriented and designed to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in computer vision to the doctoral students, who need to have basic knowledge of information technology and image and video processing, mathematics or a related field. Upon completion of the course the students will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills, which will allow them to apply the technology in question to analyze big visual data and embark on research projects in the area of computer vision and its applications in their primary research areas.

Students will obtain the knowledge and skills that enable them to effectively apply the techniques of using images and video, artificial intelligence and machine learning to extract information from multimedia content. They will be introduced to different problems in the domain computer vision and basic techniques used to solve them. Throughout the course they will be given a chance to take part in ongoing research projects, experiments and preparation of the results for publication. By the end of the course the students should have a draft of a scientific publication ready for submission to a relevant international scientific conference.

The course will cover the following areas: techniques for coding and storing pictures and videos, image segmentation based on texture and color, object detection, classification, texture, detection of moving objects, tracking moving objects, detection of interesting behavior of objects and subjects. Theoretical classes will be complemented by hand-on training in the use of open source computer vision software to solve practical computer-vision problems.

Auditory lectures and laboratory training, supervised research work, seminar paper and an oral exam.
